Patient intake coordinator
AI employee · Support and care · Phone
Takes new-patient calls, gathers the details your intake form needs, books the slots you open for new patients.
Only where consent is on file.
A dental front desk is on the phone and at the window at the same time, and the call that rings during a checkout goes to voicemail. Maxxus.ai hires you an intake coordinator that takes new-patient calls in your practice's name, a reminder agent that tells you who confirmed, and a recall agent that brings six-month patients back, each disclosing that it is an AI and calling only where consent is on file.
The moment
A new patient with a toothache calls the first practice that answers. An AI intake coordinator takes the name, the reason for the call and the insurance carrier if you ask it to, books into the slots you open for new patients, and texts the desk. It gives no clinical advice and never says what a procedure costs.
The roster
Three jobs from the roster, each briefed on your dental office. Hire one to start; the others share the brief.
